My store is B&H camera! A 10 - 15 minute spree of whatever you could take would be just fine for me.
Unless you have to queue at each counter as I did when I came down there a year ago!
Magic store BTW… now it happens me to order thru their website.
Your story remind me when I was a kid ('bout 8) some decades ago, my parents where not rich at all (to say the least) and my Mum found a job that was really strange to us:
She worked for an oil company (oil for cooking, not for cars!), her job was to drive in the country, stop by a small grocery shop in any village, check if any of the women there where having in their basket a bottle of the famous brand (the bottle could be new or empty old one, this was the time each one did bring the empty bottles back to the stores…), then the wining person, had 5 minutes to take all they want, the oil company paying the bill.
Then my Mum had to take a picture with a "Brownie Flash" (yes that Kodak black cube camera!) and send the pic to the local newspaper…
There were no competition, you just had to have that famous bottle in your basket.
These times where really tough for poor people (they still and always are!) so my mother, each day went to the grocery and told the owner, I'll come back tomorow, just check that there's someone with the bottle, but someone that really need it! Of course this was not included in the contract.
One day she had been caught (a grocery owner called the oil company) and my Mum have been fired…
The amazing, but in fact "normal", thing is that the women who won, took "first need" food, like rice, sugar, beans, pastas etc...
